For those of you who missed it, Newsom’s few moments on screen centered around his favorite character: Mayor “Diamond Joe” Quimby. An animated (ha!) Newsom sits at his City Hall desk describing his favorite character.

“He truly is the most patronizing politician I’ve ever seen in my life. The corruption, the graft, the sexual escapades, the heavy drinking,” Newsom says, a big smile on his face. “It’s just a typical day in the office!”

Of course, the irony of Newsom, whose own sexual escapades and heavy drinking came to light in 2007, singling out Quimby as his favorite character is rich. Oh, and even better: guess who shares Newsom’s love for the mayor of Springfield? Jerry Springer.

Sometimes these blog posts just write themselves.

Check out a video of the appearance here. Newsom appears about 35 seconds in.
